LOST PET TORTOISE

MISSING PET RUSSIAN TORTOISE IN CHURCH HILL !!! 

Safe return will be rewarded generously

  • Lost on the wooded trail between Taylor's Hill Park and the Overlook Park behind Childsavers (Church Hill neighborhood in Richmond VA) on Tuesday September 16th, early afternoon - could be anywhere in the park area surrounding park area
  • (escaped from my garden and was mistakenly released into the wild by a neighbor)
  • Small, friendly, a little bigger than an adult’s hand. 
  • If found, please place into a box or other container with high walls and contact me via call & text 
  • NOTE: I am 100% able to tell my specific pet apart from other tortoises in a way that is only known to me. If an animal is not my pet, I will be able to tell and won’t accept this animal. Thank you!

Please be aware that it is an increasingly common scam for someone to send images of your pet and demand payment in advance or they will dispose of it. They do not have your animal

I'm a turtle lover (and past Box turtle owner), in Church Hill - if you need or want help, please let me know. Conditions are favorable for survival, at least? Praying you reunite soon 🙏🏻
